Back when I did a little landscaping I had a 2005 Chevy 2500HD. 2WD, regular cab, gas engine so payload was close to 4000, better than many 350/3500 trucks. I had a 1000 lb dump insert installed, and I think my worst overload was hauling about 1 1/2 pallets of wet sod. I'm guessing the total load was close to 6000 lbs. Truck handled it fine with Timbrens installed but I was a little concerned with tires. I stayed off the freeway. :)
My 2000 equal came out of a quarry.a year ago in the like 11000 lb range. Vortec 350 did fine power wise. ReAr 245 tires were a bit squished......only.shy.of 4000 lb over legal paid for.tag of 8000 lbs.
